Chimney Fire Protection

'Tis the season to cuddle up in your warm home by the glow of the fire. Enjoy your fireplace to the max by ensuring your safety and keeping the Chimfex Fire Suppressant for Chimney Fires nearby. It's the first line of defense for controlling chimney fires.

It's always better to be safe than to be sorry. The Chimfex works safely with no water damage, with a fast, toss-in convenience, and on average can contain a chimney fire within 22 seconds!

The Chimfex is not only great for the homeowner, but also for the Firefighter responding to a potential chimney fire.

According to the package:

This fire suppressant is indispensable as the first line of defense for controlling fires that occur from creosote build-up in chimneys. A homeowner or professional fire fighter can use Chimfex as a safe, fast and easy to use tool to combat a chimney fire without using water. Use in wood stoves, fireplaces or fireplace inserts.

“Directions: Before activating, stand in front of fireplace or wood burning stove. Hold Chimfex at its base so it extends over fireplace hearth or fire proof stove-board. To activate Chimfex, remove top lid to expose scratch surface on cap. Twist and remove cap to expose black button. Make sure Chimfex is positioned away from the face and body, lightly scratch black button with cap.”

“For Wood Burning Stove: Activate directly in front of stove according to directions. Drop IMMEDIATELY into the stove alongside fire and close off all drafts. The natural draft will draw the generated gases up the flue and suppress the chimney fire.”

“FOR FIREPLACE: Activate directly in front of fireplace according to directions. Drop IMMEDIATELY inside the fireplace alongside of fire. Reduce draft as much as possible by closing fireplace doors or covering fireplace opening with non-flammable material, leaving the flue damper open. The natural draft will draw the generated fumes up the flue and suppress the chimney fire.”
